Nepal two years after the earthquake

Two years ago, on 25 April 2015, a devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit the area to the north of Kathmandu in Nepal.

This was the country's worst disaster in living memory: nearly 9,000 people died, thousands more were injured, and 600,000 lost their homes and income.

Trócaire has been supporting Nepalese communities to rebuild schools, homes and basic infrastructure. We have also been working on some exciting new agriculture projects that are helping people to rebuild their lives and get them earning a living again.
